PC Doc database convert to csv, excel or access.

The PC-Doc Document Management system has its own database and it appears to us to be a closed system with no documentation available on its structure. Some say it is a BTrieve structure - but we have not found that to be the case - appears to be encoded / encypted. Therefore we wrote our own program to retrieve the data and allow you to inter-operate that data in your other document systems.. The files extensions are typically .DB, .DBS, .FDD, .KDD, .PRE.

CONVERTING and PARSING
The database can be converted to Microsoft Excel, Access or CSV for exporting / importing to a different database or filing system. We have also parsed the data into various formats and layouts to suit easy importing into many different systems.

DATABASE METADATA for NAMING FILES
The database stores the metadata for the files that are scanned or saved to the PC Doc system. Sometimes the system is set up to use an external database like My Sql or (MS SQL) Microsoft SQL in which case you can probably produce us a text listing so we can name the files in a meaningful manner. When the PC-Doc files are copied , they can be renamed using the metadata from the database.

About PCDOC Document Management System

PC-Doc was developed by Danish company Dansk Informations Teknologi A/S DIT and was a Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) / Electronic Filing System (EFS) / Document Imaging System (DIP). PC-DOC was sold through Softco. The system could either store scanned documents or regular files (like Word, Excel, PDF or any other computer file). It usually had a scanner attached to a PC usually running Windows NT, together with a database for storing file metadata. The software licence was usually controlled by a dongle. The files were stored on Hard Disk Drive Cache files or Magneto Optical Disks (MO) using Panasonic Optical drives , Sony MO disk drives or HP Optical Disc Jukebox.
